Description

Formed mostly of raw and impressionable raw recruits, the addition of experienced and highly independent Marshigama's Legionnaires warriors into the decimated regiment in 3085 had repercussions far beyond what the Strategios could imagine. While the addition of hardened veterans had made the Fourth Capellan Defense Force into one of the best combat regiments in the CCAF, it has also made them imitate the former Legionnaires in other ways. Janshi of the unit have taken to modifying their uniforms however they please while their equipment is festooned with personal graffiti and nose-art.[1] The Strategios had tried for decades to lessen The Miscreants drinking, fighting, loud music and destruction of property to no avail. The Capellan High Command finally settled for basic military protocols and giving attack orders for the unruly regiment to follow.[2]

They are a second-line regiment of the Capella Commonality.[3]

History

Formation

Finding both the First and Second Capellan Defense Force at peak strength in 3079 with an abundance of extra equipment on Capella, the Strategios decided to vastly expand the brigade by adding three new regiments. The 4th Capellan Defense Force was formed from one battalion of the 2nd CDF and two battalions of raw recruits. The unit was assembled quickly in 3081.[1]

Jihad

-3081-3082 - Immediately deployed upon formation to support Operation GOLDEN FORTRESS, the 5th Capellan Defense Force was divided into battalions and used to garrison worlds taken by other CCAF regiments. No significant combat occurred during this period.[1]

The Fourth Capellan Defense Force was formed in 3081 to provide garrison units for worlds taken in Operation GOLDEN DAWN. The Fourth was split into battalion sized units and stationed on several worlds taken from The Republic of the Sphere. The first battalion was stationed on Capolla and was quickly destroyed by Republic forces. By contrast the third battalion was stationed alongside Marshigama's Legionnaires and on Woodstock the units withstood an assault by a Republic force that outnumbered them four-to-one.

After Marshigama's Legionnaires was destroyed as a unit, the company of survivors was transferred into the Fourth CDF.[4]

Sometime prior to 3145 the Fourth engaged the 8th Orloff Grenadiers and so badly hurt the FWLM unit that the LCCC was considering disbanding it.[5]

Officers

In 3085 the commanding officer is Sang-shao Elton Sneed.[6]

In 3145 the commanding officer was Sang-shao Ashton "Thrash" McGar.[7]
